Basement Interior Perimeter Drainage System

Building Permit

A Building Permit is needed for the installation of an interior perimeter foundation drainage system. The property owner or authorized agent (contractor) will need to make application prior to installation.

Submit the following in person or via first class mail for review and approval:

Location of sump pits (new and existing) and any existing electrical panel(s)

Location of any new or existing receptacles for sump power.

New receptacles to be grounded, tamper resistant GFCI devices

Existing receptacles to be grounded type receptacles

Location of sump discharge piping that extends at least 5 feet from the foundation and at a point that does not create a nuisance to adjacent property lines, and no closer than 10 feet from the street right-of-way

Two inspections are needed as part of a perimeter foundation drainage system.

Pre-pour inspection once walls have been drilled, perimeter drain installed and prior to pouring concrete.

Final inspection to verify any new electrical installations for sump pump power (if applicable) and for radon sealing of system if an active radon system is present.
